(SportsNetwork.com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins hope to get their defense back on track and avoid a third straight loss when they visit the rival Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. Pittsburgh is allowing 2.46 goals per game in 2014-15, tying the club with Boston for eighth in the NHL. However, the Penguins had trouble keeping the puck out of their own net over the weekend, surrendering a total of 11 goals over a pair of setbacks against Metropolitan Division rivals. The Pens dropped a 6-3 road decision to the New York Islanders on Friday and were then dealt a 5-2 home loss by the New York Rangers on Sunday. Pittsburgh is currently sandwiched between the two New York clubs at the top of the Metro standings, with the Rangers trailing the Penguins by two points for second place and the Isles holding a five-point lead atop the division. Marc-Andre Fleury took both losses this weekend for the Pens. The franchise goaltender allowed five goals on 34 shots against the Islanders and was pulled early in the second period on Sunday after giving up four goals to the Rangers on 17 shots. Fleury could get a rest from Thomas Greiss over the next two days, as Pittsburgh is scheduled to complete its pre-All-Star break docket tomorrow at home against Chicago. Fleury is 24-16-2 with a 2.88 goals against average in his career against Philly and 5-2-2 with a 2.60 GAA versus the Blackhawks. Greiss, has a lifetime 2-0 record with a 1.00 GAA in two outings against the Flyers. Greiss stopped 13-of-14 shots after Fleury was pulled from Sundays loss to the Rangers, who received two goals from both Rick Nash and Derek Stepan. David Perron had a goal and an assist in the loss and Sidney Crosby also scored for the Penguins, who have lost four of their last six games and are just 4-6-2 over the last 12 games. When you play like that you dont give yourself a good chance of winning, said Crosby. We have to come out with better efforts against teams like this, because they were real motivated to play this game and we werent. The Pens have lost six of their last seven road games to fall to 10-5-4 as the guest. They have four wins over their past six trips to Philly, but the Flyers have won five straight in the series overall. This is the second of four meetings this season between the Flyers and Pens. Philly won 5-3 in Pittsburgh on Oct. 22 behind a three-point night from Sean Couturier, who had a goal and two assists in the road victory. After tonight, Philly and Pittsburgh wont meet again until getting together April 1 in the Steel City. The Flyers enter tonights encounter with their cross-state rivals 11 points out of a playoff spot in the East and coming off a 7-4 road loss in Mondays clash with the New York Islanders. Philadelphia never led on Monday and trailed the Islanders 3-0 at one point. Although the Flyers eventually got their offense going, the loss marked just the third time this season Philly lost when scoring four or more goals (14-2-1). The Islanders had put up four goals just past the midway mark of the second period, resulting in the Flyers pulling netminder Rob Zepp after he stopped just 16-of-20 shots. Ray Emery saved 18-of-20 attempts in relief of Zepp. Weve got to do a better job in front of our goalies, Flyers captain Claude Giroux said. Our best defense is our offense, so we have to go play offensively and keep the puck down there. The Flyers, who have lost three of four, received goals from Giroux, Michael Del Zotto, Mark Streit and Chris VandeVelde. Brayden Schenn and Jakub Voracek added two assists apiece. Voracek has an NHL- best 55 points on 17 goals and 38 assists, Philly blueliners Carlo Colaiacovo and Nick Schultz both left the game with an upper-body injuries and did not return. Schultz will miss tonight, while Colaiacovo is questionable. The Flyers are already without defensemen Braydon Coburn (broken foot) and Nicklas Grossmann (upper body) and recalled D-men Oliver Lauridsen and Brandon Manning from their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Both Lauridsen and Manning are available for tonights game if needed. The Flyers are 11-7-3 at home compared to a miserable 7-15-4 mark on the road. Philadelphia begins a five-game stay at Wells Fargo Center tonight and the second test of the homestand is scheduled for next Tuesday.

But the left winger, who has 17 goals and 37 points this season, was limited to about 10 minutes of ice time in each of the previous games.GUELPH, Ont. -- Quarterback Henry Burris makes no apologies for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats beating up on the CFLs weaker teams. C.J Gable scored two touchdowns as Hamilton beat Winnipeg 37-14 on Saturday afternoon. The Ticats (4-4) won their third straight overall and third this season over the struggling Blue Bombers (1-7) before 13,138 spectators at Alumni Stadium. The Ticats cemented the season series with Winnipeg to move into second in the East Division behind first-place Toronto (5-3). Hamiltons other win came against Edmonton, which is last in the West Division. "If we didnt win those games everybody would be like, Well, this team is horrible, " Burris said. "The thing is when you step on the field its not the team you play its how you play. "Hey, we only go as the schedule goes and weve got to handle business when its time to handle business and thats on game day. Regardless if its Saskatchewan, B.C., or Winnipeg, weve got to make sure were ready to go." Hamilton, which beat Winnipeg 37-18 in Manitoba last week, look good offensively early. In the first quarter receiver Onrea Jones took a handoff, then threw back to quarterback Dan LeFevour, who went 29 yards for the TD at 3:16. But despite registering 464 net yards, Hamiltons offence sputtered until Gables four-yard TD run at 12:52 of the fourth. Burris finished 23-of-35 passing for 318 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Hamiltons defence forced four turnovers and held Winnipegs struggling offence to just 11 first downs and 235 total yards. The Bombers ran just five plays for no first downs in the first and mustered only two Sandro DeAngelis field goals in falling behind 24-6 at halftime. "Our defence played one heck of a game," Burris said. "We did enough on offence to get the job done but we know weve got to be better. "Next up is B.C., theyre going to be a tough opponent . . . but our focus is on us getting better and if we play our game we know we can be successful against anybody." Hamiltons defence even scored as Dee Webb had a 32-yard interception return TD late in the opening half. Linebacker Jamall Johnson also got his first pick of the season and said forcing more turnovers has been a priority for the Ticats. "The last couple of games weve been able to take away the ball more than once or twice a game," Johnson said. "If we can keep that rolling and put the ball in our offences hands then good things will happen. "But weve still got a lot of room left for improvement. We want to keep building on the positive things weve got going on." Winnipeg dropped its sixth straight. Its record after eight games is its worst since going 0-8 in 1998. Outside of Chad Simpsons 44-yard TD run in the fourth, it was another lacklustre performance offensively in Marcel Bellefeuilles first game as offensive co-ordinator. He replaced the fired Gary Crowton last week after joining the franchise as a consultant. "Games like this are the ones we have to win if were going to right this ship," said veteran Bombers offensive lineman Glenn January. "I understand patience is important and the old guys kind of have to make sure thee young guys understand that and not get too hot-headed but at the same time we have to figure this out.dddddddddddd "Im losing my patience but Im holding very hard on to it as long as I can." Winnipegs offence came in ranked last in points scored and second-last in net yards as Max Hall, veteran Buck Pierce and Justin Goltz have all taken turns starting at quarterback. Hall started his second straight game but suffered a hand injury on the Bombers opening series, completing one of two passes for four yards. Pierce took over, completing 12-of-20 passes for 92 yards and an interception before suffering an upper body injury in the fourth. Goltz came in with the Bombers trailing 27-7 and was 5-of-10 passing for 45 yards and an interception. But the changes did little to inject any life into the Bombers, prompting injured Calgary slotback Nik Lewis to tweet: "I wonder if anyone on Winnipeg cares about anything more than a paycheque?" Later, Lewis tweeted: "I made the comment because as a fan of this game I just dont see passion on their side. 24-0 early is not impossible to overcome. .Effort" Added January: "We essentially put in a new offence last week. Thats not an easy thing to do . . . but it was familiar enough that theres not an excuse available for us in that regard. "Ive been through ups and downs in this league and this is one of the hardest ruts Ive ever been a part of trying to get out of. I think weve got enough guys in the room that we can get it done. Its just a matter of going out there and working hard and continuing to believe in the process." With its season hanging by a thread, Winnipegs next two games are against the West Division-leading Saskatchewan Roughriders. "You dont like to think in those terms but its a big game for a number of reasons," January said. "Its always a big game whenever we play Saskatchewan and I think Steve Morley and myself are the only people whove ever won a Banjo Bowl and we did it wearing green. "Its already a difficult game for us, this just adds additional pressure on to our shoulders. You try and think like that, unfortunately youll get to be cognizant of the fact that our season is slipping away very quickly." Hamilton kicker Luca Congi added the converts and three field goals. DeAngelis had two field goals and a convert for Winnipeg. Mike Renaud added a single. NOTES: A quick scan of the CFL transaction wire showed the Saskatchewan Roughriders deleting slotback Chris Getzlaf and offensive lineman Brendon LaBatte. But it was merely a paper move as both were scheduled to start against Edmonton later Saturday . . . . Defensive back Jeremy McGee, running backs Carl Volny and Will Ford and offensive lineman Chris Kowalczuk didnt dress for Winnipeg. Running back Chevon Walker, linebacker Nate Bussey, offensive lineman Marc Dile and defensive Craig Marshall were Hamiltons scratches . . . . Ticats special-teams coach Jeff Reinebold served as Winnipegs head coach from 1997 to 98. compiling a 6-26-0 record . . . . Bellefeuille was Hamiltons head coach from 2008-11, posting a 27-35 record and leading the Ticats to the playoffs in three seasons.
